IPL 2026: RCB seek batting revival against in-form Knight Riders

Tridib Baparnash
New Delhi, May 12 UNI Defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru will look for a much sharper batting performance when they take on three-time title-holders Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a crucial IPL clash at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Wednesday, with both teams entering the match carrying very different momentum in the tournament.
RCB currently sit at the top of the points table with 14 points, although that position could change depending on the result of the clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Gujarat Titans, who are also on 14 points. But more than their position on the table, RCB will be concerned about the recent dip in the intensity and fluency of their batting unit.
